    I’ve been coming to the Mayfair Kitchen for a few years and have always enjoyed the food and ambience. Service was very attentive and the restaurant was not crowded, meaning we could enjoy our conversation without having to raise our voices. Afterwards we went to the bar in the Mayfair Hotel which was also a very pleasant experience. Recommended!

    Very disappointed. We paid 155 GBP per person for the Christmas Day 5 course menu and expected great service. Our waiter sat us down and ignored us for 25 min. He walked by us many times only focused on another table. After 25 min I had to ask if we can order a drink. The waiter never came back and other people brought our courses and removed them but no one ever asked us how things were. After we were done we waited again for long time watching other tables being brought their bill that sat down after us. I finally had to ask a woman if we could have our bill to check out. This was not service expected at a 5 star hotel and for the price of the menu.
